MIPS: Check Loongson3 LL/SC errata workaround correctness
When Loongson3 LL/SC errata workarounds are enabled (ie. CONFIG_CPU_LOONGSON3_WORKAROUNDS=y) run a tool to scan through the compiled kernel & ensure that the workaround is applied correctly. That is, ensure that: - Every LL or LLD instruction is preceded by a sync instruction. - Any branches from within an LL/SC loop to outside of that loop target a sync instruction. Reasoning for these conditions can be found by reading the comment above the definition of __SYNC_loongson3_war in arch/mips/include/asm/sync.h. This tool will help ensure that we don't inadvertently introduce code paths that miss the required workarounds.
